Lisa, I'm sitting here at my computer very comfortable (in my jammies) 5 days after my lap rny.<br> I was so concerned about all I heard concerning the difficulty some people had post-op with even trying to sit or move around. <br> I can only tell you my experience but I feel like kicking myself for all the worrying I did pre-op. Going into pre-op was comforting, the nurses had seen many people like me and in fact, there were several nurses they knew that had gone through the surgery. <br> Recovery room is still kind of a blur but I do remember being told, "we're going to take care of you, baby. Don't you worry. You're doing great. We so proud of you." Those words alone were so kind-hearted and sincere that I just dozed back off without trying to figure out anything. <br> After I was taken to my room, I was still groggy but understood about the pain dispenser (I thought that was the answer to all my questions!)But to honest, I used that dispenser only about 5 times during my total stay of 4 days. <br> I was able to move around on the bed without much pain, in fact I wondered if my doctor had really faked me out and not done anthing! I slept on my sides, moved around just fine. <br> Remember this is just one person's experience but I research so much ahead of time and knew what some of the worse things were but had a very good experience. <br> Rest easy, write a note to the nurses on the floor where you'll be staying explaining your concerns about being alone during this time. I bet most of them will take time to make this surgery as comfortable and without concern as they can. <br> Best wishes for the best days ahead of you.

Greetings Amos Friends! I want all of you to know that Lisa will be having her Lap-rny on January 15, 2003----what a way to start out her New Year! Anyway, Lisa is traveling away from home to have this surgery, she will be alone and she's feeling a bit frightened concerning this whole experience. Thank you Kim T., Edna J., Beth A., Angie B., Meredith L. and Dortheria B. for responding to my last post and giving Lisa such fantastic support. Also, previous to that thanks to all that have supported Lisa. Again, though, I'm requesting an angel's wls request--please send this wonderful woman your support--pre-op's and post-op's do what you do best---open those wonderful hearts of yours and let her know there are so many of us thinking about her journey. Thanks so much! Sincerely, Lori Ann

Lisa: Congratulations and Best Wishes on your impending surgery! God bless you and keeep you in His care during your operating time, and May the Angels covet you in their wings to help you atttain higher ground. I am a Lap RNY who made my journey in October 2002. It was the best decision I ever made. --AND I had had knee problems to boot! They all disappeared as my weight droppped. Yours will too. Stay positive and peaceful, and place your trust in the hands of your surgeon and of The Lord. Between them both, you will succeed. Happy Holidays! Please keep everyone at AMOS updated on your progress. ~~HUGS~~
